Top 10 BEST Movies 2022

Summary of “Top 10 BEST Movies 2022” (Engaging Recap)

The video is a highly opinionated, joke-laced countdown of the creator’s favorite films of 2022—explicitly not traditional reviews. The host frames the list as the “most objectively accurate top 10” (despite admitting it’s subjective), then zips through each pick with quick reasons, standout vibes, and a few memorable bits of humor.

Top picks & what stands out

#10 – Violent Night

A festive curveball: the host describes it as “Die Hard meets Home Alone meets the Santa Claus,” calling it absurdly entertaining and hinting it could grow into a cult franchise—especially if sequels expand the mythic “underworld” like John Wick did.

#9 – The Whale

Chosen for raw emotional impact—so powerful he says he was actively trying not to cry in a theater. The acting across the cast is the main reason it stuck.

#8 – Avatar: The Way of Water

Despite not having the most typical relationship with Avatar, he praises it as a technologically massive leap and a successful escape from “the rest of the [stuff]” not playing in theaters. He credits it with doing exactly what big-screen movies should: pull you out of reality.

#7 – Everything Everywhere All at Once

A “multiverse of madness” pick that he calls both heartfelt and surprisingly fun. He points out quirky mechanics that could’ve made it fall flat—but didn’t—and highlights the action as a major plus.

#6 – Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro)

Del Toro’s fairy-tale darkness is the selling point: tragic, beautiful, and powered by more than just its stop-motion. Its mythology, execution, and especially strong voice acting are emphasized—so much so that he says he got wrapped up in it and didn’t even cover it fully in his original review.

#5 – RRR

The host explains the film’s massive buzz and includes a joke about American audiences “giving Tollywood love,” contrasted with what he’s heard about Indian viewers asking, “why are you losing your minds?” Either way, he argues that RRR is simply a great time—and even hopes it makes Hollywood “sweat.”

#4 – The Batman

He argues that as the year went on and comic-book movies started to feel more like “vomit,” The Batman stood out by trying to elevate the genre with a more dramatic, special tone. He loves the Gotham atmosphere (straight out of the Arkham games), the score, and the supporting cast—though he doesn’t crown it as his favorite live-action Batman overall.

#3 – The Menu

A major surprise: he went in with almost no knowledge (no trailers, no hype) and loved the experience—especially the film’s “menu” presentation as part of the thrill. He bluntly tells people: go watch it.

#2 – Top Gun: Maverick

He admits he wasn’t expecting much, calling it a sequel to an “old” classic that usually goes badly. But he praises it as made by people who truly love the characters and world, with nostalgia as “icing,” not the whole cake. He describes it as heartfelt and says he teared up in a scene.

#1 – The Northman

His #1 is explained with a vivid, hype image: “two naked dudes fighting on a volcano” in a revenge story with Norse myth vibes. He frames it as the most “digestible” Robert Eggers film for bringing broader audiences into Eggers’ work—an easier entry point than The Lighthouse or The Witch.

He stresses that the film is brutal, doesn’t shy away from the era’s darkness, and keeps momentum toward revenge without undercutting it by the end. He also jokes (kind of) that after seeing it, it became the measuring stick for every other movie.

Closing tone & meta moment

After the countdown, the host shifts from movies to gratitude—thanking viewers for keeping the channel going for 13+ years. He mentions longtime fans who started watching since childhood and are now grown. He then asks viewers to share their own top lists in the comments.
